Why Did the SAG Awards Snub Corey Haim?
Sunday night’s SAG awards were all about honoring Hollywood -- and, it was only fitting that the show included an “In Memoriam” for all those who passed last year. But one actor was left out of the final cut, and fans are incensed.
Corey Haim, '80s It Boy and '90s hot mess, was not in the tribute. According to show producer Kathy Connell, there simply wasn’t “time to salute everyone.” She says two separate Memoriam packages were created. “Mr. Haim was in the longer version,” she said. “As the show was running long, we were forced to choose the shorter package.” Haim died in March of last year.
"We have become used to not being honored by our peers in the industry," Haim’s BFF and frequent co-star, Corey Feldman, told Popeater. SAG member Dorothy Provine, who died on April 25, was also left out of the shorter memorial video package (which can be viewed above).
But according to Connell, those are the breaks. "Some people who are included early on, may not be in the final package due to the passing of other SAG members."
